53: Chapter 53 Gathering the Power of the Masses

Boom!

The Battle Qi of Mo Bai, Ye Qing, and Zhou Rin merged together and streaked through the air, smashing a large crater into the ground.

The power erupted from the combined Battle Qi of the three had already surpassed the Wind Blade Technique.

Looking at the large crater on the ground, Mo Bai thought silently to himself.

"Coordinated formation combat. Battle Qi infused with my Spiritual Power can merge seamlessly and be controlled together, allowing everyone's Battle Qi to erupt in synergy."

"The strength of the masses!"

Mo Bai hadn't expected that a moment of oversight would actually create such a massive surprise.

Perhaps sometimes scientific research results appear from a single mistake during constant experimentation.

The scientific community was no stranger to such outcomes.

The corners of Mo Bai's mouth curled up slightly as he immediately turned to look in another direction.

Over there, blacksmiths were measuring them for gear. After Luo Long, Ming Zhan, and Li Yujian had delivered a batch of iron ingots, they were already preparing full-body fabric-faced light armor for the ten of them; after all, being armored versus unarmored were two completely different concepts.

In a real military formation, it was standard procedure for a fully armored unit to achieve a ten-to-one kill ratio against an unarmored one.

There was no way around it; with equal strength, they could land lethal blows while you couldn't even break their defense. As the battle line advanced, it was pure slaughter, and the blow to morale was also incredibly devastating.

"But now, besides having armor, it seems I can also add superhuman constitutions."

The corners of Mo Bai's mouth curled up slightly.

"Turning ten recruits into ten armored Xiang Yus..."

"Ye Qing, Zhou Rin."

Ye Qing and Zhou Rin, who were currently testing the increase in strength and speed from Battle Qi eruptions, turned to look at Mo Bai upon hearing their names.

"There are ten soldiers in total; each of you will be responsible for five. Two things."

"First, everyone must learn the Body Tempering Method I taught you. Training will be held daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. They must be brought before me for training; no private training is allowed anywhere else."

"Second, each of you lead a squad. Start with ordinary wild animals like nearby jackals, tigers, and leopards. Kill them for their meat."

"While relying on hunting is like draining the pond to catch the fish, it shouldn't be much of a problem to support just the twelve of you in the short term. After all, the wildlife resources around here are excellent and everywhere."

"As for Magic Beasts, don't touch them for now. Parn will handle the hunting there; you wait for my orders."

"Understand?"

Ye Qing and Zhou Rin exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the ten men training over there. Their eyes gradually brightened, and they immediately nodded.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

"Good, start now!"

As soon as Mo Bai finished speaking, the two of them ran toward the ten men training and brought them all over in a short while.

They weren't exactly strangers to each other and had personally experienced the strength of Ye Qing and Zhou Rin, so they were naturally very cooperative, doing whatever Ye Qing and Zhou Rin told them.

Watching their movements, Mo Bai used his Spiritual Power to gather the Elemental Power from hundreds of meters around, artificially creating a high-element zone here. He used his Spiritual Power to construct a Magic Spell Model that could provide Restraint for the six types of Elemental Power plus Spiritual Power.

The Magic Spell Model restrained the gathered Elemental Power within a fixed range.

"It would be great if I could construct a Magic Spell Model using elemental materials."

Mo Bai pondered slightly.

There were indeed quite a few bones from various Magic Beasts. If ground into powder, it seemed it might not be impossible.

"However, if the Magic Spell Model is fixed to the ground, the structure will also need to undergo a slight change."

"First, the Magic Spell Model uses Spiritual Power to capture the Elemental Power supply. If it's implemented on the ground to form a fixed Magic Array..."

"Then a structure for storing Elemental Power is needed. The Restraint effect within a simple Spell Structure is no longer enough."

Mo Bai immediately looked at the Magic Spell Model he was maintaining.

"This is easy to handle; I just need to expand the Restraint structure into a dedicated Magic Array. This way, it can store Elemental Power to provide energy."

"Additionally, the Magic Array needs to be switchable to different sizes depending on the situation. For this, the Spell Structure and mana pathway must be adjusted."

"This can also be calculated using the formula for adjusting spell effects. Targeted adjustment isn't a problem either."

"Furthermore, the control function of the Magic Array can be completed through a Magic Spell Model that restrains Spiritual Power. As long as it resists the entry of other people's Spiritual Power and only my Spiritual Power can merge into it, then only I can control the Magic Array."

Mo Bai suddenly realized that he had already gathered all the prerequisites for constructing a Magic Array.

"If I can construct Magic Arrays, then the effects that can be achieved are numerous."

In his view, constructing a Magic Array was like getting into Redstone in the game Minecraft.

The Magic Array was the foundation; as long as one had enough ability, they could completely evolve an entire world.

"If I construct Magic Arrays, then many things won't require me to personally maintain the spells."

"I only need to construct the Magic Arrays in advance, and then tasks like defense, attack, and gathering elements for the training field can operate entirely automatically through the circles."

"Furthermore, even lighting fires, heating, or even tilling the soil can be completed using Magic Arrays. Everything can achieve semi-automation without consuming my time and energy."

"As for the energy required during the process, it only needs other mages to refine specific Elemental Power from the environment and place it into the element storage structure of the Magic Array."

"Then the Magic Array can maintain its operation, and the mages can also train their Spiritual Power. Hmm, this can be entirely left to interns."

"If I set up hundreds or thousands of Magic Arrays, it would be a death zone for enemies."

"It's just that the interns responsible for providing Elemental Power would be worked to death. And one or two people wouldn't be enough; at least dozens or hundreds of interns would be needed to maintain the operation, right?"

"But where would I get so many interns?"

Ideas poured out of Mo Bai's mind one after another, and after a brief pause, another inspiration popped up.

"No, I don't need that many interns, nor do I need each Magic Array to have a separate function."

"I'll directly create a super-large element restraint pool and restrain all the elements inside."

"Then, I'll use mana pathways to connect every Magic Array to this single element Restraint structure."

"Then I only need to provide Elemental Power to this element pool, and it can directly supply all the Magic Arrays."

"Even relying on this element pool, Magic Arrays that aren't running will stop being supplied with Elemental Power, and it will only be provided when they need to run. This avoids unnecessary loss of Elemental Power and wear on the Magic Arrays."

"And I only need one Magic Array to automatically extract Elemental Power, or one to automatically separate elemental substances... This isn't hard either; it still only requires this Magic Spell Model for restraining Elemental Power."

Mo Bai looked at this Magic Spell Model composed of individual Restraint structures.

"Each Restraint structure can restrain one type of Elemental Power. By expanding each of these Restraint structures into a Magic Spell Model, I can increase the Restraint power."

"First, I'll set up a master element pool to directly hold all the Elemental Power sucked in."

"Then, I'll build an element circulation channel around the master element pool, with six Magic Arrays constructed in sequence within. As the mixed elements flow through the first Magic Array in the channel, the fire elements are captured; passing through the second Magic Array, the wind elements are captured."

"And so on..."
